Back in HS, my friend's dad bought these arcades that had 4-5 games on them, one being Dr Mario (not full blown arcades, they were like 3' tall and sat on a table). Sometimes he brought the arcades home (didn't always do well in the locations he chose) and we'd play Dr Mario for hours. I am a nerd, I like the puzzle games.

That's part of the reason why I hope the Revolution turns out to be something, well, revolutionary. People just aren't making particularly innovative games anymore, and I think a lot may have to do with limitations imposed by the interface. I don't care who the hell wins the console wars, as long as the games are actually fun! I got Battlefront II and Soul Calibur III for PS2 the other day, and while they're somewhat entertaining, I've already almost given them up and am playing all my old Final Fantasy games again (well, the PS1 re-releases anyway). :mhihi:
And now from what I've seen, even Final Fantasy XII, generally a pretty innovative game series, has fallen into this trap of everything-must-be-3D. It sucks. Can we go back to the time when gaming wasn't cool? The audience back then was far more demanding about gameplay than graphics!

And I swear, if I hear another MS or XBOX fanboy say that "dual wielding" in Halo 2 was a revolutionary gameplay change - I will SMASH their faces in. :lol:
Multiple weapons date back to the first FPS's on the PC... :uhh: Halo isn't revolutionary... it's the first "ok" FPS on a console. :bash:

Team XBox Review:
My helmet is off to EALA though, as this is some of the more intuitive controls you will find in a console game of this nature. Modifiers take the place of mouse “roping”, thus making it fairly easy to rustle up as many or as few units as desired. The usage of bookmarked troops also helps when quick selection is the ticket to victory.
The control set of The Lord of the Rings Battle for Middle-earth II is as simple or as complex as you want it to be. You can get by with a general knowledge of unit wrangling, knowing how the zoom works, and the basic principles of move modifiers and bookmarking. But those that want specific control over every aspect of their squad can have exactly that with either a good memory, or one hell of a cheat sheet. Just take a look at a few of these advanced combos:
RB+LB+A double tap - Adds all units by type from army to current selection LT+double tap A - selects entire army LB plus single press A - Adds waypoints to a waypoint path.

J is no longer with R. J filed for a temporary separation and it comptemplating carlosing R. J is upset with R because R pulled a stinky.

based on legal precedent earned by the professor, it appears J will win over R due to R being stinkied during the whole partnership. court records indicate that jeffing was also carried out by J during the partnership.
J was bought out by R with diddle money earned from being stinky, therefore it is now a R45.

PS3 production of their Cell processor is going horribly. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 20-30% yields....compared to 70+% "normal" processors. I guess it's very difficult to get all 7 cores to work properly on each piece of silicon

Microsoft CPU yields were similar, so it's no surprise with the new tech.

I know it has WiFi, but I thought that was just for use locally - not sure about it working over the net. Although I guess if you just connect by IP address, it wouldn't make a difference.
Since I only have 1, I can't really try out the networking. :(

Well, I've played Age of Empires quite a bit this weekend, and it's still pretty cool. They changed the gameplay up quite a bit, which they had to because a RTS wouldn't work well on a handheld. After playing it for awhile, I noticed that it plays exactly like Advance Wars (at least the combat portion of it does).
That's not such a bad thing - I loved Advance Wars on the GBA, and in fact was debating between getting the DS version or AOE. I went with AOE because it looked like the DS version of Advance Wars is exactly the same as the GBA version - graphics and all - and since I can still play my old GBA games, no need to waste the money on a new version. AOE has much better graphics - so it's basically Advance Wars with better graphics and resource management.
Overall, they did a good job transfering it to a handheld platform. Two thumbs up. As for Advance Wars, I'll skip this generation and wait for this to come out:

It looks like the same concept, but much better graphics. :cool:

I spend most of my gaming time on the computer. For the types of games I like to play, computer > console.
Handhelds are just for times you are away from a console/PC. I don't think anyone "prefers" them to a full console, it's just a convenient thing for car trips, waiting in airports, etc. :dunno:

The DS just happens to have different games ... no other reason, really. I have a GBA but only ever got like four games for it. On the other hand, I figure the DS will probably have some sort of Wii-interconnectivity that might be fun, so no harm in getting it.

Haha, these guys are teh smurt:
Atari Prices Test Drive 360 at $39.99
Blowing a hole in other publishers' claims that $59.99 is needed.
Since Xbox 360 launched, publishers have been telling us the $59.99 price point for games was needed due to high development costs associated with next-generation. Gamers mostly bit their tongues and hoped publishers would show us where the extra $10 was going with the next wave of games, but Atari doesn't seem to believe the extra money's necessary.
In fact, Atari's gone one step further and announced Test Drive Unlimited will be priced at $39.99 for Xbox 360. "Innovation should be available to everyone, not a privilege for those who can afford high price tags," said Atari CEO and CCO Bruno Bonnell in the press release.
We agree, but wonder what the motivation is behind pricing at $39.99, rather than the previous generation's $49.99 standard. Could Atari be pinning its hopes on players wanting to download new cars, a feature Atari's promising monthly for Xbox Live? Does the lower price make you more interested in Test Drive Unlimited than you were before?
We've contacted Atari for additional comment, but we want to hear your thoughts so we can pass them on.
Man, this is what I'm talking about. The $60.00 price is retarded. Not to mention that now 80% of games have downloadable content that I'm willing to buy and usually buy. They did some research regarding this, and those expansion packs are "selling like pancakes".
So 39.99 FTW! :woot:

I played a game of college football last night at 2 in the morning when I couldn't sleep. It was the second game of my dynasty (using Ohio State) against Texas. #1 vs. #2. Texas kicked a field goal with 3 seconds to go to take the lead and I was so pissed. On their kick off, they kicked away from Ginn, which pissed me off even more, but Anthony Gonzalez returned it 93 yards for a touchdown!!! :woot:
